April 30th is our traditional date of last frost for our area, but last year we had a heavy frost on May 12th.
I've looked at the extended forecast and it doesn't look like we have any future danger of frost, so yesterday I took a chance. I put nearly all of the tomato and pepper transplants in the ground, and planted pumpkins, squash, zucchini, and 2 rows of sweet corn. Now I have to keep my fingers crossed until about Memorial Day.
Not much else is new, the pigs are getting bigger, they are getting used to us now and will walk right up to us at feeding time. Soon they will start getting demanding. The ducklings, chicks, and poults will be arriving May 23rd.

Ancient chinese proverb say: plant in ground before last frost could lead to bed cold.
Mao always put in plant week before Memorial Day. No frost = more production = more food for Mao.
